King Dedede in Super Smash Bros. 4
Universe	Kirby
Other playable appearance	in Brawl
Final Smash	Dedede Burst

King Dedede will be a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. He was announced on January 10, 2014 to commemorate the release of Kirby: Triple Deluxe in Japan. Dedede appears to have a more cartoonish appearance in Smash 4 than he did in Brawl, being more brightly colored and looking reminiscent of his appearance in the Kirby: Right Back at Ya! anime. He additionally has been shown to have even more exaggerated facial expressions. His model also appears to be sporting a graphical effect that accentuates the fuzz on his robes and crown.

Confirmed information

• The following moves appear visually unchanged:
  • Dash attack
  • Forward smash
  • Neutral aerial
  • Back throw
  • Super Dedede Jump
  • Down taunt
  • Dedede's comical crouching animation
• Waddle Dee Toss has been replaced by a move that exclusively throws Gordos. The Gordos travel at a much slower speed compared to Brawl, and King Dedede can pick up the same Gordo as it bounces along the stage,
• Jet Hammer produces much more intense lighting that visually light up the surrounding areas, and Dedede now visibly sweats with a grimacing facial expression when using the move. No functional differences with the move however are known at this time.
